He obtained his B.S. and M.S. from universities in China in 1983 and 1986 respectively. He then obtained his Ph.D. in biophysics from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1991 and J.D. from New York Law School in 1998. He is admitted to practice law in the State of New York and the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York. He is known in the small quantum mind circle for his proposal of a Spin-Mediated Consciousness Theory with his collaborator Maoxin Wu. In 2001, he proposed with his collaborator Maoxin Wu a novel mechanism of anesthetic action that says general anesthetics produce unconsciousness by perturbing oxygen pathways in neural membranes and proteins. Among his achievements, he is the proponent, in collaboration with Wu, of the oxygen pathway perturbation hypothesis that says general anesthetics produce unconsciousness by perturbing oxygen pathways in neural membranes and proteins and the spin-mediated consciousness theory that says spin is the linchpin between the mind and brain, that is, spin is the mind-pixel. Further, he has recently discovered, in collaboration with Wu, evidence of nonlocal effects of chemical substances on the brain produced through quantum entanglement and evidence of nonlocal chemical, thermal and gravitational effects which support the notion of a quantum brain and demonstrate nonlocal signaling and nonlocal gravity. He has recently also proposed, in collaboration with Wu, the principle of existence which is a theory of everything based on prespacetime (Consciousness). He is currently the President of QuantumDream, Inc., a R&D company established in 2003.

Abstract

“Dark chemistry” is a hypothetical chemistry based on the hypothetical axion dark matter. Benjamin is commendable for boldly going where no one has gone before but may find himself still in the “bright” territory instead of the “dark” side, if he is willing to use Occam’s razor to cut out “dark” things and replace them with non-local effects. Based on our recent experimental findings, our contentions are two-fold: (1) dark matter is likely the cosmological manifestation of quantum entanglement; and (2) the hypothetical axion dark matter is, therefore, replaceable by non-local effects mediated by the primordial spin processes. We also discuss the cause of apparent dark energy. In particular, we explore the issue how mind influences the brain through said spin processes. Our thoughts are that the manifestation of free will is intrinsically associated with the nuclear and/or electron spin processes inside the varying high electric voltage environment of the neural membranes and proteins which likely enable the said spin processes to be “proactive,” that is, being able to utilize non-local energy (potential) and quantum information to influence brain activities through spin chemistry and possibly other chemical/physical processes in defiance of the second law of thermodynamics.
